They acquire a library of intellectual property rights, then litigate to earn profits.

How's the case going?

Yes... for you will not sue?

Have you been following the Frobisher case?

Arthur, this isn't about the case, it's about us.

Not even a civil suit.

Any headway with the witness?

How was the case going?

Again, whether we're talking health policy, education, environment, energy,

That's how federal agents and prosecutors think.

And so it's our belief that, with that, the case will be over.

Was this about the case?

It's about the case.

Had some runins with the law.

This is the case. There are no other cases.

The expanding reach of intellectual property has introduced more and more possibilities for opportunistic litigation suing to make a buck.

The lawsuit remains undecided.

It's about the case.

I have a lawsuit.

Some kind of lawsuit.

But the reality is, these crazy cases are relatively rare.

It's dry cleaning. We've been working on the Frobisher case 24 7.

Even more problematic reasons include

Mayor Giuliani wanted to tear it down.

Alleged actions.

I'm betting the judge will dismiss the whole case.

I would love to take credit for it but I can't. Sorry. They did it themselves.

TYLER

Even an opinion is a form of action.

But, Arthur, if this had anything to do with the case...

But I don't think any of us want that, now, do we?

And as a result, the patent troll can claim that they won the case.

So at the end, I had a settlement with them.

We can't have another lawsuit like we had on that Blackwell case.

I can't afford to open the door for another lawsuit.

Or I could start some criminal proceedings.

Well, that depends, obviously.

Some of my reporters were arrested.

Do you have any other trials? The civil cases.

(Laughter)

Frobisher discovery. Patty will need a full summary.

This case has just taken over my life.

Unfortunately, we don't have the evidence to use this against Frobisher.

My current efforts are to underpin a legal case

They are threatening, their students.
